Weighing Moving Cars.

In order to find out whether cars
loaded with live stock can be success
fully weighed while in motion, the West
ern Railway Weighing Association few
days ago made a test at the stock yards
with ten loaded cars. The cars were run
over the scales running three miles an
hour and the weights taken. The stock
was then unloaded and weighed on plat
form scales The difference in the
weight of the ten car loads was found to
be only $50 pounds, the actual weight
being that much less than the weight
taken when the cars were moving. This
test it is claimed establishes the feast
bility of the plan of weighing cars sue

The Signs Of Drunkenness.

The symptoms of drunkenness, De it
observed, are all paralytic, and are all
due to loss of nervous power and of
voluntary control The flushing of the
face shows the paralysis of the small
blood vessels; soon the slipshod utter
ance shows the want of voluntary con-
troll over some of the muscles of articula-
ton; the dou lie vision indicates the loss
of accommodating power in the eyes,
and the staggering gait shows that the
loss of control has extended to the larger
muscles; lastly, the drunkard falls

A Man Spent Thirty Years in Bed.

Ben amin c. Cortelyou, who lives Just
outside of New Brunswick, y. j., is q
wonderful example of human endurance.
Some thirty years ago, while employed
on frame building, Mr.. Gortelyou lost
his balance and fell to the ground. 1t
was discovered that his back was brok en-
and that he received internal injuries
He was conveyed to his home and put in
bed, and has ever since been unable TO
TO leave 1t. For twenty-six years he has
reposed on his right side, from which
position he has been unable TO move He
Is IN constant agony, and his attendants
rarely touch him. SO acute Is the pain.
For six years he has been unable to sit
up in bed, and just before he was com
PEELED to abandon the effort his cries
could be heard long way from the
house. Hundreds of physicians have
visited the man, but not one has been
able TO afford him any relief. He has
had over 200 attacks of erysipelas. Three
thousand ounces of laudanum and 200
boxes of pills have been given him to
quiet the pain, but all to no avail.
His wife died of broken heart several
years ago, and two children followed
shortly afterward Two daughters, who
were sent out West twenty eight years
ago, have since married, but neither has
seen the father since that time. Mr..
Cortelyou has Just turned sixty years, but
looks twenty years older. His face and
head are covered with long gray hair,
while his general appearance is of a per-
son in great suffering and pain. -Neao

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Selling VS.. Pasturine

Careful trial has satisfied those who
practice soiling that one acre of land,
well titled, will support cow as long as
three acres of pasture and one acre of
meadow. 4 succession of crops must be
sown, of course. The first crop to cut
in the spring is winter rye, then follow
medium clover and orchard grass, timo-
thy and alsike or pea vine clover, or both,
oats, or peas and oats, millet, corn and
sorghum, The latter sowed very thick to
keep the stalks soft, and if to this sys-
TEN of soiling was added that of silage.
and the latter used after the green grow
ing crops were frozen up, and with the
siIage a variety of root crops saved and
used, how much more cheapIy would we
carry our stock through the entire year.

bloodhound Ranch.

George Oglesby is growing blood
hounds for sale on Tenth and Clay streets.
He has already the finest kennel OF that
breed in the United States. 1ncreas-
ing frequency of acts of violence
and multiplied instances of stage
and train robberies cause demand
for the class of animals named, which en-
courages Mr.. Oglesby to hope that if the
noble work shall proceed he may find his
dog ranch a better thing than an African
ostrich farm. Mr.. Oglesby is certain that
if the Six-shooter law Is repealed occa-
sion for the use of his acute-nosed dogs
will become so frequent that he will have
to open on much larger scale Wae6

An TmDortaut Arrest.

The arrest OF a suspicious character upon his
general appearance. movements or companion
traveller, fired a house, murdered a fellow
man, is an important function of a shrewd de-
tective. Even more important is the arrest of
disease which, if not checked, will blight and
destroy human life. The frequent cough, loss
of appetite, general languor or debility, pallid
skin, and bodily aches and pains, announce the
approach Of pulmonary consumption, which is

CKllEF COLORUW.

1t is becoming more and more evil
dent that the present war with the
White River Utes is white mans war
that the Indians are not forcing the
fighting nor are they DESTROYS of con-
tinuing the war, but it is also evident
that if they are harassed as they have
heen tue aftir may take on the most
direful proportions. The facts Of the
case appear thus: In the Spring of
1887 band of lnwless, drunken cow
boys shot one of Colorow's bucks with
out an active protest on his part and
subsequently his sister was shot. Even
this did not arouse him to retaliation.
Seeing that the willy old Ute was not to
be entrapped into warfare q charge of
horse stealing was trumped up by Sher-
if Kendall aud he attempted to arrest
two Of Col"row's bucks, but these were
not to be found. The result was that
the Sh riff raised larger posse i'll order
to compel Coloruw to give up the men,
but when the Shvriff's men learned the
true st tte of affairs many of them left
him. In the meantime Colorow gath
cred up his tribe, sent RUNNERS out in
nu directions and it is not improbable
that general uprising will result.
CoIorow is the Chief who participated
in the Meeker massacre of 1880 and no
attempt is made to make him out a

PIT. KAvANAGH-Whil there have
not been any large deals during the
past week, the real estate market is
active and there is a good demand for
inside property. Prices hold up for
midway real estate and negotiations are
pending for several extensive transfers
in that direction. There is no stringency
in the money market, and owners of
eligibly located real estate are in no
hurry to let go of their holdings. Mat
tiers may be quiet for awhile, but there
is not the slightest danger of any col
lapses as some alarmistS have sought to
make people believe. Such talk is the
sheerest nonsense when the incontrO-
vertible facts are daily so apparent that
the boom in st. Paul realty has become
a fixture. Capitalists from all parts of
the East find this city to be one of the
best places in the West to invest their
money, owing to the certainty of a sure
and rapid return of their capital and
with much better rate than they can
possibly obtain at home.

A CONFIDENTIAL TALK.
WEARING LOW HATS.


My wife informs me that hats will be
worn lower this season than they were
last. They will be worn lower because
the telephone company has refused to
put its wires under ground. 1t is a
serious inconvenience to lady when
she walks down town faShionably
dressed, on the outside, to have her hat
frequently removed by telephone wires.
At the altitude at which hats have
been worn the past year, a woman
could not pass safely under telephone
wire without scrouching. That word
scrouching is probably Oftener used by
me than any other noted writer in for
eign tongue. In referring to the same
subject, several years ago during warm
campaign, when men were wearing
their hats much higher than usual, my
trusted friend, IGNATIUs SHAKE
sPEARE said the pregnant hinges of the
knees were crooked. But of course, the
way man has of expressing himself
depends altogether on the express COM
pany he has preference for.
The announcement that hats will be
worn low this season will be hailed with
wild demonstrations of joy by several
people, conspicuous among whom are
those individuals who have been in the
habit of occupying seats just back of
myself and wife at the theater. think
it is only fair to myself to say that
have argued long and earnestly with
Mrs. H against wearing twelve
foot hat in twO-fOOt seat, but up to
date my argument has been in vain.
Nobody can truly imagine the feelings
of man who loyes his wife, when he
sits beside her i'll the dress circle, and

IL. III. Hanson.

J. Fl. HANSoN-One of the most eff
fective sermons that l ever heard was
last Sunday at the First Methodist
church, when Miss EMMA ABBOTT rem
dered in a divine manner, "Nearer,
My God to Thee" The church
was crowded, it being cOmmun-
ion Sunday, and after singing the Sc
lection Miss ABBOTT remained and par
took of the sacrament with the rest of
the congregation. l must confess that
l was somewhat surprised not to find
any mention of these facts in the paper
next morning, and, especially, in view
of the celebrity recently obtained by
Miss ABBOTT at Nashville, Tenn, when
she rebuked minister in his own pull
pit for making what she deemed a SLAM
derous assertion concerning her profess
sion. One thing is certain, more de-
vout Christian does not live to-day than
the opera singer, EMMA ABBOTT, and
we of the First Methodist church will
always be ready to champion her cause,
no matter by whom she may be asSailed,
clergyman or layman. Last Sundays
incident will always be remembered by
those who were fortunate enough to
hear the exquisite rendition of this
favorite church hymn.

preserve them in book form, contract
to that effect having been perfected
with leading publishing company of
this city. These papers are written by
members of our commandery, and emf
body actual experiences on the battle
field, land after reading, il is in order for a
general discussion of the matter sub
mitted, and frequently corrections
of omissions by tie author are
tbs result of this general talk. l
think the st. Paul commandery
will compare favorably with any in the

societies that are larger than ours. But
take any Of our meetings where from
70 to 100 members are punctual in their
attendance and it would be impossible
tc find more intelligent representative
